Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Silverstripe. The install went fine and I was given access to the Admin panel. I added some pages here and there and got things working fine. Today, I come back to login and add some more content and the Admin page just hangs at the loading splash screen.

I've checked through the forum and see that a few others have had this problem too, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive fix, not one that seems to work for fixing my problem. Can anyone help?

I've added the firebug data below.

Hello

I ran into the same issue as well. This was caused by the admin not loading up the correct javascript files and then failing.

It was caused by me not setting up the correct read write permissions for the assets. Once i had assigned the owner to apache with write permissions I was able to log in.

From you dump of the firebug problems, i would say that would be you problem as well.

So, I first deleted the web.config that shouldn't be there (apache), but that didn't remedy the issue.

I then went ahead and changed the CHMOD of the assets folder (which is stupidly changed earlier) from 744 to 755 (add execute to group and public).

DING! Success. Way to go delboy!

check the permissions for /assets/_combinedfiles

give it 755 and if you aren't allowed to change the permissions (eg owner is apache), delete it and create a new one. same name -> 755 permission code

had the same problem. changing the permissions for _combinedfiles solved it!
